Commutator of two subgroups is normal in join

From Groupprops

Statement

Suppose are subgroups of a group . Then, the Commutator of two subgroups (?) is a normal subgroup of the Join of subgroups (?) .

Facts used

  1. Subgroup normalizes its commutator with any subset: If is a subgroup and is a subset of , then normalizes the following subgroup:

Here, is the commutator of the two elements.

Proof

Given: Two subgroups .

To prove: .

Proof: By fact (1), normalizes , which is the same as . Also, normalizes . Thus, the normalizer of in contains both and , hence it contains , proving that is normal in .
